CHARLES MEYER In JAIL.
THE NEWARK AYENUE DITE-KEEPER
BROKEN DOWN By HIS SENTENCE.

To Servo Year In the County Penifen-
tiary and Pay Fine Of S5Oe.-His
ssHofeI . Closed.--His Spirits Broken
by the Sentence.-His Life in Jail.
Charles Meyer, who was:last week con-
victed for running disreputable house at
the corner of Palisade and Newark avenues,
was yesterday sentenced by Judge McGiil
to pay fine of $500 in addition to costs Of
court. The prosecution AID conviction of
Meyer have borne fruit already. Since his
conviction his " dive" has been tightly
closed. The bright light which was sta
toned outside the place is nov extinguished
the sounds of colliding pool balls have been
hushed; the noisy laughter of the frequent
ers can no longer be heard the piano which
was used to furnish music for the dancers
is closed and sthe g Professor =" who used
to perform upon it has disappeared; in fact
it is as gloomy looking as the cell which the
proprietors now inhabit.
Meyer was taken to his cell in the jail
yesterday morning. The sentence of the

him. He seems utterly broken down and
detected in spirits, and he can hardly bring
himself to realize his unenviable position
He does not say much. and will not say
whether he will move for new trial or
take any other steps to free himself from
his position. He does not partake of the
usual prisen fare, but had his dinner yes
terday, which was tae first meal taken at
the jail, sent from restaurant. Notwish-
sta ding his low spirits, he ate his dinner
with an apparently good Appetite; bat up
to late hour last night he had not ex-
pressed any desire for his supper. Never
feels his position keen1y, and it is currently
believed that if his trial had resulted in his
acquittal he would not have had anything
farther to do with the dive" AS il is
now, his store, if sold, will bring very
little, owing to the disclosures that
have been made and the exceedingly bad
rep 1tation which it has sustained.
NJ syer's saloon was formerly owned by
man named Broeser.. Broeser sold out TO
Meyer, and it was generally understood by
Meyer and others acquainted with the
transaction that Broeser would not in any
way attempt to regain the custom Of tie
place. Some time after the sale, however,
new bidding was erected on Newark ave-
nue. within one hundred feet of Msysr's
saloon. and Broeser established a saloon
/ there, WITH the purpose, it is believed, of
running in opposition to Meyer Broeser's
place IS not run on the same principle
as Meyers, and it is believed that very
| little damage was done to Meyers trade
Whether Broeser will gain anything on ac-
count of Meyers troubles remains to be

Big Thieves Caught,

When William Gormly and John Nc
Glynn were arrested for breaking into the
cabin of tug bont and stealing a number
of articles, a parcel of pawn tickets and a
letter was found in McGlynn's pocket.
Yesterday Captain Farrier succeeded in
deciphering the letter which was written in
thieves slang, and found that the writer's
name was Everson, we'll known thief,
who has done time from this city, and who
is wanted here for various crimes, and that
he was locked up in the Tombs, but hoped
to escape by playing the drunk racket,
Officers were sent to New York this after
noon and Eversou was seen and recognized.
When he was arrested, pawn tickets were
found on him. A visit to the pawn shop
was next made and the tickets that had
been found on Everson were discovered to
be for goods stolen from tug boats in Jersey
City, while the tickets found on McGlynn
were tor goods stolen from New York tag
boats
The arrest of the two men in Jersey City
is an important one, because it will lead to
the arrest of still another noted crook, and
in all probability break up the thleving that
has been going on from the tug boats for
some time.

day, Into Her Mental Condition.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The investigation
as to the mental condition of Mrs. Emmons
was continued to-day in the old Circuit
Court room Mrs. Emmons was question
ed at length and her testimony elected
much applause.
About thu broken thermometer story,
the witness said she had had it for a long
time and was very sorry when it was broken,
for she used to put it out of the window to
see how cold it was, and thus catch Gen.
Hazen. Great laughter greeted this sally,
the Marshal laughing SO hard that he could
not rap for order for some time.
Speaking of the Christ child incident she
said, the little colored boy. Arnold, came
to where she was sitting and asked when
she was going tolight the tree. She took
the child up on her lap, and then this
sskwmpster'' began asking her foolish CUES
tions. She told him about the Christmas
tree and the German fable about the
Christ child. He said, chow can you en-
dzre to be fond of little nigger?'
She said, ssthis child saves me much This
Is my little Christ child. Il saves me
much"

gro child ?" Then she went on: ''You said
yes by nodding your head. Does it? say

dead and have laid off their skins, whether
it makes any difference to God whether
their skins are black or whlte?" she was
asked.
THAT'S question" answered Mrs. EN-
mons, ssthat ought to be answered by a
BostoDian.
The witness said that Mr.. Emmons had
come to her house after the illegal separa-
ton" as she supposed it was. He used to
come to the basement door, and she told
him if he came there he must come in the
front door like others and send card
die did not stay all night because she
would not let him. He came there and re-
manned late. When she spoke to him he
said: cit is late now and do not want to

said he couldn't stay, it wouldn't be a
proper thing. He said he couldn't go. I
said, every well, then I'll go to hotel. "

Mrs. Emmons then sarcasticaliy describ-
ed her husbands solicitude about her trip
to Bloomingdale, and concluded by declar-
ing she was repeatedly drugged with whis-

her into Bloomingdale asylum. Her touch

had been made. and the merry throng of
strikers had gone to their homes.
After searching around and inter-
viewing every one who was supposed
to know anything in regard 10 the
real origin of the strike, and hearing all
that the few employees who would speak
had to say, the reporter learned that the
strike was brought about by number of
the best paid men in the factory. There
are number of men who are employed in
the plug department. who receive from $40
to S24 per week, on space work. About
two months ago the firm made up their
minds to pat the hands on three quarter
time, instead of full time, as the trade was
dull. That move angered the men, as they
could not see thu reason why they should
not work full time. They sent deputies to
the firm, demanding that they be put back
on the old time. The result of the less of
time reduced their pay to SIS and $40.
This reduction affected the girls in. the
Rough and Ready department from SO and
$14 to So and SO. Upon the firms re-
fusal to accede to the demand, these men
induced all the employees to go out on a
strike. This seems to be the solution of
the problem.

ing was finally pnt before the House.
Then he responded with the Democrats.
Carroll stood truer to the colors. His vote
was with the Democrats from the begin
ing of the discussion to the end. The pre-
sumption arising from this state of facts is
that Carroll is more disposed to act with
the Democrats than Donohue. But do
not believe that any presumption whatever
as to their party allegiance can be drawn
from what they have done. To vote steadily
with either party is for them to sink their
individuality and to lose their prestige.
Their vote first with one side and then with
the other is explainabls on the theory That
they don't want the two parties to lose sight
OF the fact that they have the balance of
power between them-to remind the lead
ers, in other words, occasionally, that thew
cannot get along without them.
